ASSIGNMENT 6/13/11

1.  What does the author mean when he says, "money can buy you time, which is why we pay physicians and pharmaceutical companies after we have heart attacks"?
HE SAID WE CAN BUY MONEY WITH TIME THAN TIME WITH MONEY.
2.  Reread the paragraph that starts "But 25% more pay is not the heart of the matter."  The author then says, "People who start businesses are more likely to get rich than anyone else."  According to the author, why is this true?
 BASICALLY BECAUSE A PERSON WHO IS WORKING VERY HARD TO GET THERE COMPANY OR SOMETHING RUNNING ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUCCEED THAN A PERSON WHO JUST SITS HOME DOING ANYTHING.
3.  Explain in your owns words what the heading "The High Cost of Leisure" means given what has been covered so far in the article.
I THINK THAT "the high cost of leisure" MEANS THAT EVERYTHING HAS GONE UP SO MUCH THAT ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY ALSO SINCE IT HAS GONE UP NOW WE BASICALLY HAVE TO PAY DOUBLE TO BUY THINGS.
4.  In what year in human history did productivity begin its "steady upProxy-Connection: keep-alive

rd rise . . . of 2.5% per annum"?
SO THE UPWARD HAS RISE AND MULTIPLY FROM 500 TO OVER 1000 IN THE PAST 30 YEARS.
5.  What was Thomas Edison's contribution to "overcoming nature"?  How did his invention overcome nature?
 
6.  According to the author, how do most of us overcome nature? WELL BASICALLY WE STOP FIGHTING FOR STUFF AND WE STOP HURTING NATURE BY BURNING TREES ETC.
7.  According to the author, why do most people don't like to work? MOST PEOPLE DONT LIKE TO WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY AND DONT LIKE MONEY AND ALSO THEY DONT LIKE TO LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE.
8.  According to Dr. North, how many hours does it take for a person to become competent with something?  Divide that number by 365 and you will get the number of years it takes to be competent.  How many years does it take for someone to be competent at computer engineering or selling real estate?  How many years does it take for someone to be a master of a skill? IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR A PERSON TO BECOME AN ENGINEER BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GO TO A LONG PERIOD OF TIME SCHOOL ALSO YOU GOT TO WORK HARD TO BECOME THAT BECAUSE ITS REALLY HARD.
9.  Gary North's article promotes and privileges creators over consumers.  He says, "What most people do not recognize early enough is that they should find employment in a field in which the compounding process produces a sense of personal achievement that lures them back into an ever-greater investment of their time. The compounding process is what produces success, but the front-end costs, especially psychological costs, keep out most people. They willingly serve as salary earners rather than creators."  What does he mean by the "compounding process"? I GUESS WHAT HE IS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOU HAVE TO GO TO ALOT IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE IF YOU DONT YOU WILL NEVER BE WHAT YOU WANT IN YOUR LIFE.
10.  In his section on "The Problem With Schools," Gary North says that great teachers are not allowed to multiply themselves.  What does he mean by multiplying one's self? HE SAYS THAT BECAUSE IF TEACHERS ARE BEING MULTIPLY LETS SAY BY HOW GREAT OF TEACHING THEY DO THEY ARE GOING TO GET PAID THE SAME SO OTHER TEACHERS TRY TO BE MORE GREATER THAN OTHERS JUST TO GET MORE MONEY.
11.  According to Dr. North, who in the free-market is king and the person to whom we should serve? I GUESS TO NOBODY.
12.  What lesson can you learn from the following story.  "There is a man in my church who owns and operates motels. Back in the 1980s, he was in college, earning a degree in physical education. He was also making $60,000 a year in the motel business. His coach told him to quit school. "You're making more money than I am. Why do you want to teach junior high school boys, whose parents will be on your back to give their kid more playing time?" He wisely dropped out of college."I DONT GET THIS QUESTION SORRY.

Scott Walker

a.  Who is Scott Walker?
Scott walker is a person who does recycling.
b.  An editorial in The Journal Times.com was outraged by a decision that Walker was considering.  What did Walker want to do?
Under the plan, subsidies for local recycling programs would end and municipalities would no longer be required to run those programs.
c.  Why did Governor Walker surrender his plan, and what were the arguments his opponents raised?
The governor quickly folded his plan when he failed to get the backing of key Republican lawmakers, who said his plan goes too far.
d.  According to the article, what is the estimated number of waste-pickers worldwide?
The trash will be sorted and removed by the estimated 15 million waste pickers in the world.
e.  Individual homeowners and employees at schools and other institutions believe that it is really important to separate recyclable items like paper, glass, and plastic.  According to the article, how would individual waste-pickers benefit from just throwing everything away into a single bin?
Before the municipal garbage trucks pull up to empty trash bins, these waste pickers comb through the trash, pulling out paper, plastic, glass, or anything else they know they can sell. The typical garbage collectors reportedly earn from 50 to 100 Turkish lira a week.
g.  Open up another tab and google "currency converter."  Find out how much 17,000 lira are in terms of US dollars.
1 US dollar.

Americans would likely be horrified to see entrepreneurs pulling carts of other people's trash through the streets and living at junkyards. They needn't worry. Minimum-wage laws, business licensing, OSHA requirements and all the rest will keep some Americans rooting through their own trash to cProxy-Connection: keep-alive
